4.6.7.c: Prompt
This parameter allows entry of up to 35 characters of instructions or other pertinent
information that will appear in the prompt field and guide the operator's entry of data.
4.6.7.d: Min Characters
This parameter sets the minimum number of characters allowed in a field.
4.6.7.e. Max Characters
This parameter sets the maximum number of characters allowed in a field, affecting the size
of the field. The maximum number will influence (or be influenced by) the point size of the
font used.
4.6.7.f: Default Text
The "Default text" parameter allows entry of text that will be printed in the field if keyboard
entries are not made at the time of card production. ("Default Text" acts similar to "Fixed
Text", but can be overridden by operator entry.) A maximum of 45 characters is permitted.
4.6.7.g. Allow
The "Allow" parameter is considered a validation mechanism. Its function is to minimize
incorrect keyboard entry by type of characters.
• If "Digits" is chosen, only digits (0-9) can be used.
• If "Alpha" is chosen, only letters (a-z) can be used.
• If "All" is chosen, not only can letters and numbers be typed in the field, but any
printable character. This includes spaces, commas, symbols, etc.
The last two parameters are also dependent on what is selected for the "Allow" option. "Mod
10" and "Increment by" are only shown if "Digits" is selected.
4.6.7.g.1: MOD 10
The "Mod 10" option can only be used when "digits" have been selected for the "Allow"
option. This is because "Mod 10" stands for "Modulus 10 Check" – a validation test.
